Hiving a swarm at high noon, in 95º heat, high humidity, wearing a bee-suit, eyes smarting from the smoker that calms the swarm down. And, of course, unlike the textbook swarm that always settles on a hard-wood branch 6' from the ground, they're more apt to settle one foot out of reach from your tallest ladder, on the trunk of a pine-tree! Plus, a full super of honey weights 60lbs at harvest time and I've got Lyme disease. Ah, but I remember, and miss the sacred work! Also miss our exquisite honey.
